Beautiful Cremation Urn Made of Black Walnut

Here is a beautiful cremation urn made from black walnut wood, unlike any other.
 
The tree from which this wood originates is still standing, continuing to weather the seasons, purify the air, and provide shade during the summer. This urn, along with its few sisters, is crafted from large pruned branches that were generously given to me by a very dear client as a token of appreciation. You can view images of these branches being cut by following this link on my Facebook page, here.
 
It has been a wonderful experience to witness the stages of transformation and to feel the excitement of working with a material that holds great value in my eyes. As always, I use the material to its fullest potential and strive to maximize this precious resource. That’s why I incorporate the sapwood into my compositions, as well as a hint of bark which adds a lovely pattern. The sapwood, being the lighter part of the wood, brings a touch of clarity, like a ray of light.
 
This truly unique piece can be a beautiful way for you to give a final symbolic tribute to your loved one. Indeed, even after life, memories remain in our minds and become part of a precious and living legacy.
 
The finish of this urn is applied with a high-quality, environmentally friendly oil, hand-applied and polished in multiple layers. It provides a protective and durable finish as well as a soft satin that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. The interior is coated with an additional layer of beeswax, creating a smooth and soft surface to hold and protect your loved one's ashes.
 
Exterior dimensions: 6 3/4” wide x 6 3/4” deep x 9 1/8” high
Capacity for ashes: 230 cubic inches
